No safety?
May I suggest that you look at something in the Ruger range. Ruger uses what is in my humble opinion the best safety system yet devised. Chamber the round, then use a decocking lever to ease the springs. The first shot is then fired in the manner of a double-action revolver. Subsequent shots are like any other semi-automatic pistol. When you have finished shooting, use the decocking lever again and reholster the weapon.
The system is very safe and just about idiot proof.
